Mike Leake takes the hill tonight for the St. Louis Cardinals in the second game of a three game set, to face Wily Peralta and the Milwaukee Brewers. Leake has been dominating over his last 3 starts, posting an ERA of 1.35 and a WHIP of 0.95. Outfielder Stephen Piscotty should return tonight for the Cardinals after missing yesterday’s contest with a stomach ailment. Peralta has been struggling to find his mark. Over his last 3 outings, he has an ERA of 6.32 and a WHIP of 1.79 and Milwaukee is 0-5 in his last 5 against St. Louis. Ryan Braun has missed the last 2 games with neck stiffness but is expected to suit up tonight. I’m siding with the Cardinals in this one.
Tonight’s pick:
St. Louis Cardinals
